It's really kind of funny when you think about how most of the aristocratic families founded their fortunes. The RW says that having money means that someone worked harder to get it than us average shlubs, but it usually seems to mean that someone was more ruthless than the average shlub. It all kind of makes Bill Gates' marketing tactics seem pretty mild, doesn't it?
